Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage demanding a ransom that I can’t afford. So frustrating as I try to clean up my posts and delete their ugly squares of black and grey off my blog posts!
First I’d like to acknowledge an award I received from the Teach. I do so appreciate you and this award Mary!
And now to Ruby Tuesday that Mary is the mastermind of….
My Blueberry Bush in Washington that has changed the color of its leaves to this nice Ruby.
From our walk on the beach in California on Sunday ruby bushes in the background of my shot of these Sea birds which are called Kildeer.
For more Ruby vist Mary at Work of the Poet.
Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage on their site. All my photos that I stored and uploaded from that site are now big ugly black and grey boxes with a message to pay big bucks to get them restored to my blog. It will take me a long time to restore thousands of posts.
Dear and I attended church on Saturday evening this week so on Sunday morning we headed to Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura for an early morning walk.
We saw the sunrise.
The waves were beautiful to see and to hear.
As we walked closer to Surfer’s Point we began to see Surfers trying to catch the best waves.
There’s nothing like an early morning walk on the beach to set your mind on things above and to cause you to praise God’s mighty name and his power in creating the world we enjoy.
We shared the beach with lots of birds, the gulls, the godwits, the sanderlings, and the herons. That’s Dear enjoying the waves. And here’s a collage of some of the birds we viewed on this lovely Sunday morning.
“There is nothing like walking to get the feel of a country. A fine landscape is like a piece of music; it must be taken at the right tempo. Even a bicycle goes too fast.”
– Paul Scott Mowrer
“The soverign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is the best.”
– Thomas Jefferson
Hope you have a wonderful week.

This Historical Landmark Carpenter Gothic church was built as Southern Methodist Episcopal Church in 1888. It was a wedding chapel for some time and was converted into a B&B and now it’s for sale.
On one of our Saturday walks in Downtown Ventura, California we decided it deserved a look see. The church is on Main Street.
These handles look like coffin handles to us…
So if anyone has $1,750,000 and wants to run a B&B this could be the place for you!

John 14: 1-6 ~ “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. Thomas said to him, Lord we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus answererd, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
O Christ, Who Hast Prepared A Place
O Christ, who hast prepared a place
For us around Thy throne of grace,
We pray Thee, lift our hearts above,
And draw them with the cords of love.
Source of all good, Thou, gracious Lord,
Art our exceeding great reward;
How transient is our present pain,
How boundless our eternal gain!
With open face and joyful heart,
We then shall see Thee as Thou art:
Our love shall never cease to glow,
Our praise shall never cease to flow.
Thy never-failing grace to prove,
A surety of Thine endless love,
Send down Thy Holy Ghost, to be
The raiser of our souls to Thee.
Words: Jean B. de Santeüil, in the Paris Breviary, 1686, p. 503 (Nobis, Olympo redditus); translated from Latin to English by John Chandler, Hymns of the Primitive Church, 1837, p. 86.

It’s time for another PINK Saturday and I couldn’t resist showing you this store at the Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks and some houses we walked by on Main St. and just off Main in Ventura, California.
I’m going to admit to y’all that I didn’t go into the store because I was just speeding through the mall that day to get in some extra steps for my walking totals.
The following houses were fun discoveries when my husband and I decided to stroll through this part of downtown Ventura last Saturday. We saw a lot of great old houses but I’m only sharing the PINK ones…
The house that is shown in the top row of the collage is for Rent and the sign says that it is the oldest house in Ventura.
Do you think it would be fun to live in this pink house?
Oh and I’m experimenting with a new program that is more creative with collages. Here’s my first attempt.
I’ll be doing a lot more experimenting this week. Have a fabulous Saturday everyone. I’m headed to an Open House for my niece’s 30th birthday!
For more Pink Saturday Posts visit our hostess Beverly at How Sweet the Sound.

Whoohoo! Look at the new beautiful badge to go with Fridays Fave 5. Tia created it for Susanne…
1. One of my favorites this week is listening to good music.
2. One of my favorite meals this week was this Mediterannean Tilapia. Recipe is here.
3. Hearing about cousin get-togethers that are planned for October this year. Two of my nieces from Dear’s side of the family are flying from New York and Los Angeles to spend time with my kids for a cousin reunion in Seattle. Then the 2nd week in October two of my nieces on my side of the family are flying from Los Angeles to Seattle for an Anne of Green Gables Weekend with my girls in Washington. How wonderful is that? It makes my heart glad…
4. Eating breakfast at Allison’s on Saturday after our early morning walk on the beach. Look at the size of those freshly made biscuits! My favorite here is the Mexican Omelette with hot chiles, avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, and cheese. Served with a side of quacamole and beans. Hee, hee, I cut down on calories by ordering the fruit instead of the potatoes. :0) Dear orders the Green Chile Omelette. It comes with a whole green chile on the top and filled with more.
5. Here’s one of my favorite photos from this week. This is from a walk down Main St. in Ventura, California.
So is it just Dear and I or are those door handles taken off a coffin?
To see more Fave 5 or to join in and participate visit Susanne at Living to Tell the Story. I’ll be around later after Bible Study this morning. I’m getting a breakfast casserole ready to take to the study. I’ll be sharing that recipe sometime soon. Have a great Friday and weekend everyone…
For more Word Filled Wednesday visit Amydeanne.
The photo of the door was taken in downtown Ventura where there are lots of great older homes and churches built in the early 1900’s. This is actually a building or house converted into a church. It is not where we worship…
